AN- Sorry this might get uploaded twice, I accidentally uploaded the unedited version, and here's the edited one.
Chapter 10. This has gotten quite long, fast. I have only up to 14 completed, so, soonish you won't get updates every other day. Sorry. :P I'll try my best, my partner in writing this doesn't get on as often, we're in completely different time zones.
Also, Rachel and Quinn have been re-opened in our crazy little rp, so if you're looking for some Faberry playing, there's some good demon!rachel human!quinn we're looking for. (: marrythenightgleerp . tumblr . com. Or any other pairing as well, but klaine and niff is endgame. Smythofsky is there, but not endgame.
So here's a bunch of fluff. :D
Chapter 10
Nick chuckled, shaking his head, "How were you planning on sneaking out, because I'm pretty sure they'd still be right behind that door." He took a few steps closer to Jeff, eyeing the door for a moment before crossing his arms over his chest, "So what's the plan?" He smirked.
"Uh, I've climbed from my window before, but I don't know if I can do it anymore," Jeff said, "We're going to have to try and sneak past them. Ready to get your ninja on?"
Nick knew it would be pretty easy to climb out of the window, but he didn't like the idea of Jeff getting hurt.
Looking back at the door, he chuckled softly. He didn't know how they were going to be able to sneak passed them, but it was worth a shot, "Alright. I'll follow your lead then, shall I?"
"Yep, that can work," Jeff said, and slowly opened his door. Luckily there was no one there. He poked his head out and once the coast was clear, he headed out, and made sure to close the door behind Nick. Going to the edge of the stairs, and not seeing anyone, so he crept down the stairs very dramatically. He thinks that laughing might have gotten them noticed.
"Jeffie? Are you leaving? You and Nick must stay for dinner," Johnny said, and smirked at them. Jeff blushed and bit his lip.
"Aw man," he pouted, "No, we've got to get back to the dorms."
Jeff's dad walked in then, "You're leaving?"
Jeff rubbed the back of his neck, "Yeah, you guys just saw me like a week ago, so I just came for my Xbox, and then we were going to go back to the dorm."
Nick bit his lip as they were caught. It seemed like it was going to well, and he'd even managed not to laugh at Jeff's antics. He couldn't stop himself smiling though, leaning closer to Jeff and murmuring in his ear, "…Jeffie?"
Looking back at them he smiled politely, shrugging, "It was nice meeting you all, though." He rubbed the back of his neck nervously, unsure of what else to say. He wasn't used to talking to such a large group of humans at once.
Jeff blushed at the whisper.
They actually got out of dinner with just a promise to his dad that they'd go to Cedar Point this Sunday. Jeff was excited because it was the first Halloweekends weekend, and that weekend was always the most scary. It was a short drive back to the dorm, and Jeff quickly plugged in the Xbox to their TV.
Nick didn't really know what he was supposed to do to help Jeff as he set up the game so he just stood back, watching curiously. He wasn't exactly sure how Jeff did that so quickly. It had to be practice. Sitting down on the nearest bed to him, he grinned, "So…" Crossing his arms over his chest, he looked Jeff over, "I'm really tempted to start calling you 'Jeffie' now."
Jeff blushed. "Oh dear god," he said to himself. He looked up from where he sat on the ground. "At least it's not like Jeffypoo or uh, actually calling me Jeffery," he said and chuckled. He felt like such a nerd when people called him Jeffery.
Nick grinned as Jeff blushed, trying to stop himself laughing. "Jeffie's cute though. And so are you. So it fits, see?" He chuckled, leaning closer to Jeff as he sat beside him on the bed.
Jeff laughed, as blushed at the comment.
"So were you up to coming to Cedar Point Sunday or should I bring Trent?" he asked once the DVD was in and he took the controller back to the bed with him.
Nick raised an eyebrow, looking over at Jeff with a small smirk, "Seriously? You're really not sick of me yet?"
"Of course not," he replied and wrapped an arm around him hesitantly and leaned his head on his shoulder. He didn't know if he was over stepping his boundaries, but god, he hoped he wasn't.
Nick smiled fondly as Jeff's arm wrapped around him, leaning closer, and doing the same. He rested his head against Jeff's and sighed happily. It was crazy how something as simple as that could make him so happy.
"As long as you're not sick of me, I'll come. Definitely," Nick promised.
As the Doctor Who screen came up, Jeff got up and slipped his shoes off and got into some more comfortable clothes, and then he plugged in his phone. He debated whether or not to put on his glasses. He wouldn't really be able to see the TV then. He took them from his book bag, and slipped them on, and looked at Nick.
Nick watched Jeff for a moment, biting down hard on his lip to stop himself grinning when Jeff put on his glasses. That was something he wasn't expecting. He just stared at Jeff for a moment, trying to figure out what he should say. After a moment, he snickered, "You're seriously adorable."
Jeff let out a breath he didn't know he was holding, and laughed. "I always feel like a dork, that's why I really only wear them in class, and I have my contacts too," he said, and slid into the bed next to Nick, and got comfortable under his blanket.
Nick grinned a Jeff got back into the bed, shuffling closer. He brushed the bangs from Jeff's eyes, his smile going soft, "It's adorable." Leaning forward, he kissed Jeff's cheek before reluctantly turning back to look at the TV. He knew he'd prefer to watch Jeff, and that was probably a little creepy. He had to stop thinking like that so much.
Throughout watching half of the first of season 1, Jeff couldn't help but glance over and look at Nick. They would both spot each other doing it, and laugh at each other. He hardly even knew what episode they were on.
"This is kind of pointless," Jeff commented.
Nick blushed, looking away. He wasn't used to blushing. No one ever made him blush like Jeff did. He bit his lip, looking back up at Jeff and smiling, "You're kind of distracting." He chuckled nervously. "I'm sorry. I can try to pay more attention if you'd like." He didn't want to ruin the night, even if it wasn't all that much. It was still something, and it was with Jeff. He didn't want to ruin that.
"Nah, it's my fault too. You're just too gorgeous, I can't look away. Especially when you blush," Jeff said, and chuckled. He couldn't believe he actually said that. That seemed to be happening to him a lot these days. It's like Nick had some pull over him, where he just admits the truth all the time. He blushed as well, and couldn't keep the smile off his face.
Nick's blush deepened at Jeff's words, and he couldn't keep himself from smiling anymore. He didn't know what he was expecting Jeff to say, but it wasn't that, "Well, thanks. You're pretty gorgeous yourself." He chuckled, leaning closer and closing the gap between them in a gentle kiss. He had to get used to doing that. But a part of him told him he shouldn't. They weren't technically boyfriends yet. Pulling away, he pressed their heads together, murmuring and chuckling breathlessly, "Sorry. Can't help myself."
"Well I'm sorry I can't help myself either," Jeff said and leaned over to kiss him again. He was almost sitting on top of him. It was just a shot he had to take. All the last ones he did turned out good. Well except for scaring him.
Nick smirked against Jeff's lips, wrapping an arm around his neck and pulling him closer. It was the simplest thing, something he'd done hundreds of times, thousands, but it felt so different with Jeff. It was right. He let his fingers brush into Jeff's hair, reluctantly pulling away for air and resting their heads back together, "You're full of surprises," he smirked.
"Awesome," Jeff said, and snuggled down next to him. He actually wanted to just kiss him more, but that would probably be stepping over the line. It was weird though. This was too sudden for him, and was just screwing him up. He liked it though. He was just scared he'd fall for someone, and let his heart go too quickly, and end up hurt again.
Nick wrapped an arm around Jeff, shuffling closer. He had no idea if Jeff was okay with this, but he wanted to feel close to him. He liked being able to hold someone while they slept. He hadn't done it in so long, and it was so simple, he would've done anything to keep that feeling. Biting his lip, he looked up at Jeff, "Th-This is okay, right? Just tell me if I'm doing something that makes you uncomfortable."
"Well I feel the same way. I just don't know where we're going with this. I'm fine though. Our semi relationship is complicated. It's okay though. It'll all work out over time," Jeff said. He was ready to fall asleep actually. It was getting late, and he'd have to get up in the morning.
Nick brushed his fingers gently along Jeff's arm, smiling to himself, "I like you a lot. And I don't really know what this thing we have going on is, but I like it, too. I haven't done this in a long time." He smiled softly as he looked into Jeff's eyes, "I don't think I've ever felt quite like I have when I'm around you. It's a little scary, but in a good way."
"It's completely terrifying actually. Things like this don't just happen. It's strange though, but it works," Jeff said. He was kind of like falling asleep talking.
Nick rested his head on Jeff's chest, holding him closer. He sighed softly, smiling to himself and closing his eyes. It was probably weird; how comfortable he felt with Jeff, but he liked it, "We'll figure this out. It'll take time. Just know that I really, really like you." He looked up at Jeff, kissing his jaw, "Get some sleep, okay?"
"Mkay. That'll be easy," Jeff said sleepily, and rolled onto his side, pretty much hugging himself onto Nick. If anyone were to come in their room, it would be really weird. He didn't care though. That's all he really wanted right now.
Nick chuckled to himself, hugging Jeff to his chest. He kissed the top of his head, closing his eyes and preparing himself to be staying right there throughout the night. He didn't mind. It was nice, really. Not sleeping much meant he got to keep an eye on him while he did, make sure he was okay. That's what Nick liked to think, anyway. Eventually he did sleep, though, hoping that this time he'd wake up and Jeff would still be there.
Jeff's alarm went off in the morning, but he didn't have to rush to get to class. It was Friday, so he only had a couple classes today. A gym TA which would be easy, and then an English class. He tried not to wake up Nick, but he seemed to already be awake, so he just stayed in the bed for a few extra minutes.
"Goodmorning," Jeff said.
Nick had gotten some sleep in the middle of the night, and was content to just lay with him like this, and keep an eye on him. It was nice to be in Jeff's arms like that, and there was no way he was going to move and risk waking him up. Resting his head on Jeff's chest, he smiled and shuffled closer when he spoke, "Mm good morning."
"Got any classes today?" Jeff asked, wrapping his arms around Nick, and burrowing his head into his chest. All he was breathing in was the smell of Nick. It was really good, and Jeff didn't want to get up at all.
Nick sighed happily, running his hand trough Jeff's hair and holding him close. He couldn't believe how nice and simple it was to be with Jeff like that. It was kind of perfect, really, "Yeah. I have one, but I don't have to go for a while yet."
"That's awesome. I've got one in like 45 minutes and then one later around 2 ish," Jeff said, "At least we can just kind of snuggle until then."
Nick grinned, resting his head against Jeff's, "That sounds perfect." He brushed his hand gently along Jeff's back, content to just stay like that for as long as possible. All he really wanted was to stay like that for the day. The thought of moving was nothing short of tragic.
